I recently installed ubuntu 12.10 alongside windows with wubi. After download of
Pov-Ray sources, ./configure says:

configure: error: in `/home/bruno/Documents/povray-3.7.0.RC7':
configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables

and config.log ends abruptly by:

#define HAVE_INTTYPES_H 1
#define HAVE_STDINT_H 1
#define HAVE_UNISTD_H 1
#define HAVE_STDLIB_H 1

configure: exit 1

Before investigating further, did anybody encounter the same issue, and/or does
have a quick answer ?

Thanks in advance.

You have to install "make" or "cmake"

They are not installed by default? Surprising. Thanks for the tip.

I installed cmake (make was available by default). Same behaviour. I appears
that my installation of ubuntu is probably corrupted. I'll try to get
confirmation for that. If so, I'll reinstall it all. :(

Isn't it great how Linux wins big time over Windows in that it won't get 
irrevocably fucked up over time as Windows would?

:-P

You have of course installed g++, right ?
(C compiler is probably install by default, but IIRC not the C++ one)

In fact, you should have installed (with all dependencies):

    g++
    libboost-all-dev
    libpng12-dev
    libjpeg62-dev
    libtiff4-dev
    libopenexr-dev
    libsdl1.2-dev

(the "version" might vary, this was for 11.10, but I hope you get the idea)

Just because nobody complains does not mean all parachutes are perfect.

   Yes, except for Ubuntu... they copied this "feature" from MS. :)

   I think I'm going back to Fedora ASAP...

Been using Linux since 1998, never had that problem.  Looked like it was 
a guess on Bruno's part.

Chances are there's just something missing in the build environment, or a 
permissions error (usually configure tries to build a simple executable 
and if it can't create one, it bombs out with that message).

../configure finds gcc and does not complain until much further in the process.
gcc is not enough?

Depends on what you're trying to build.

You probably need cpp as well, that may not be installed (not a Debian 
guy myself, so I don't know precisely what packages are needed).

There often is a log file created by configure, if there is, have a look 
to see what the specific error is that's generated. :)
